Oral Specialist Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 ei doc! hehehe... nice reading ang thread na ito ah... anyway, just a bit of my dental history... ive had four root canals alreadu (two front incisors and a molar with two roots) and an impacted tooth was pulled about a year ago.. but thats not my question... hehehehe well a tooth has been giving me two sleepless weeks!! ive been demanding to see my dentist for the past week but she seems to ignore me... (aunt ko pa naman... ) anyway, ive been taking mefenemic acid to relieve the pain and it worked for the first week (ponstan 250, before ako mag-sleep, to help me sleep... pero nagigising ko ng mga 4 AM cringing in pain) pero for the past couple of days... wa epek na! im afraid to increase the dosage kasi baka kung ano epekto sa akin eh... have i grown tolerant of the medicine na?? anyway, its a molar, the one beside the one which had a post installed for a crown... thanks doc... hope to have some sleep before the anniv party see yah!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Man, sorry tagal ng reply ko. Looks like you'll need more than just pain killers. You seem to have an acute infection there that will require a prescription for antibiotics. Perhaps you could at least ask your aunt for that?

Sonny Torres Oliva; DDSNYC :cool:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi doc! Thanks for your offer to help. I'm sure a lot of the members will appreciate it. Could you perhaps give us a perspective on how dentisty is practiced there in contrast to here? Also, do you still want to know about the different types of porcelain and veneer restorations available here? Most of the restorations are usually available and the newer or more exotic ones are likely to be ordered from Europe or the U.S. Quote Link to comment

It's performed in your case because your gums are irritated by tartar found within and this is difficult to remove using an ordinary toothbrush. Even if you're taking Vitamin C every day, the tartar is still there to torment your gums and will continue to cause the bleeding. I would recommend having the procedure as it is the only way to remove the tartar found in the gums. Quote Link to comment

Ok lang yun kasi fully healed na yung area na yun. But be prepared to set aside at least a year for the full treatment including healing from the surgery up to the construction of the dentures to go with them. Quote Link to comment
